Dubrovnik, Croatia

In November 2018 we journeyed to the Balkins. We landed in Zagreb, traveled by bus to Zadar and then a small boat down the Adriatic Coast as far as Dubrovnik, returning with stops in Montenegro and Bosnia & Herzegovina. Here are some photos of Dubrovnik. For me, this was one of the two best highlights of our trip. The photos may look familiar to you because it has been used to film part of Game of Thrones.

Dubrovnik and its ancient harbor. Many, well most, major cities were utterly destroyed in the 1990's, first by siege of Serbia's and Montenegro's soldiers and then later by US and UN "peacekeeping" efforts. They have largely been rebuilt to UNESCO world heritage standards. They 'look" pre-war but everything works.
